The San Francisco 49ers will be without wide receivers Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, and Christian Kirk for their Week 9 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Kirk sustained an injury in practice, joining Evans and Samuel on the inactive list. This leaves the 49ers with limited options at wide receiver, likely starting Jordan Watkins and Demarcus Robinson, who have combined for 11 catches this season. Despite the significant injuries, sources indicate the 49ers remain favored against the Raiders, whose pass defense has struggled throughout the year.
- •Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, and Christian Kirk will not play.
- •Jordan Watkins and Demarcus Robinson are expected to start.
- •The game takes place in Week 9 of the NFL season.
- •The Raiders' pass defense has allowed significant yards to lesser-known receivers.

"The 49ers hoped the return of Christian Kirk was going to help them with the loss of their top two wide receivers. That won't happen.
